“SOMATIC BREATHWORK in-person SESSION”

  • Notorious Fitness 6610 West Dakin Street Chicago, IL, 60634 United States (map)

We invite you to join us for a Somatic Breathwork journey on August 12th, 2023.


Somatic breathwork is a type of deep, connected, conscious breathing that allows us to enter altered states of consciousness to experience healing. By interrupting our autonomic nervous system patterns, we can discharge stored tension and release what's no longer serving us.

Our body remembers even when our mind forgets. 

We will use breath, movement and sound in the sessions to give our body the permission to release any trauma, wounds or emotions that we are still holding onto, allowing us to return to a state of liberation and freedom within

This session is for you if you want to:

  • Connect to yourself and the wholeness within

  • Align with your purpose and have a clear vision of where you are headed

  • Open your heart-space

  • Reprogram belief systems

  • Boost your immune system, health and overall wellbeing

  • Identify and process stress, emotional wounds or stored trauma from the body

  • Re-regulate the nervous system

  • Reconnect to our mind & body

  • Soften and surrender to safety, love and connection to the self and others

  • Have increased vitality and joy for life

Remember - while breathwork is about releasing, it’s also about bringing something new back in. Just as we will face and work through wounds, fears, trauma, etc., we will also cultivate safety, joy, serenity and inspiration. This practice will give us the opportunity to clear space needed to be able to embody all that the spirit of life has in store for us.
